Galaxy Tab S4 will be available from Thursday onwards in black and grey colours on Samsung Online Shop and leading offline retail stores, the South Korean tech giant said, adding that it will also be available on Amazon from October 20 onwards.

A busy life needs a device that can keep up, and the Samsung Galaxy Book2 delivers almost everything needed for on-the-go PC users.

The new Samsung Galaxy Book 2 now features a Qualcomm Snapdragon 850 SoC and high-speed wireless internet option. The screen is now bigger at 10.5-inches compared to 9.7-inch display. In effect, this will allow Samsung, and any manufacturer that buys the company's OLED panels, to create a truly bezel-less device sans notch. The latter is a plastic, elongated version of Samsung's S Pen. Samsung is also bundling the keyboard cover and the S Pen along with the device for consumers. Even when you're not using it, this Samsung 2-in-1 PC continues to sync and refresh in the background so you get the most up-to-date notifications when you return. It's great if you only need office and a web browser, but if you prefer anything else, you'll want to switch out of S Mode to Windows 10 Home. On the connectivity front, you get Wi-Fi 802.11ac, Wi-Fi Direct, MIMO, Bluetooth v5.0, GPS/ A-GPS, USB Type-C, and a POGO connector. As the name suggests, the 10.5-inch tablet succeeds the Galaxy Tab S3 and brings tons of new additions in terms of software features and hardware. The Tab S4 has 4 speakers, tuned by AKG with Dolby Atmos sound.

Below are the specifications of the new Samsung Galaxy A9. The positive there is that the S Pen seems nearly impossibly light. And pressing the button on the S Pen when near the display activates Samsung's excellent Air Command software. Like any LTE device, though, using that data plan will incur a monthly fee.

Under the bonnet is the Qualcomm Snapdragon 850 system-on-chip with 4GB of RAM, comprising four high-performance processor cores running at 2.96 GHz and four power-efficient cores clocked at 1.7 GHz.
